We were walking over the river
Walking home, voiceless on the telephone
Radiant in the city lights
We seen the end clear, those terrified ghosts
Sedated breaths, passed out from the Chloroform
It was all a scripture, a rootless secret
The road is all that we've got
But what happens to us when we're lost
And the money runs dry like the night of rain?
Our dreams suspended from skylines
Our bodies are constellations of sin and patterns
We are blood in the church, moonlight underwater
Don't try to put out my fire with your fire
I've written 1,000 love letters for all my fake friends
Driving fast into the headlights, I tried to stop
But I'm vehement, stubborn to the bone
Reckless in my calling when I'm drowning
In this loneliness, I see you, I see you
Caught in this syndemic
Dressed in bittersweet lies, but you can't see
This world is violent and HIV
Starving for a prayer, something that is true
The blood pours, the memory sore
Medication doesn't work anymore
The sun is rising over new horizons
Pressure filled, I kick, I wait, I say so much
But my words are empty.
